Chapter 657: America's Response

Historically, Britain and France have claimed to occupy Hawaii, but it is all just talk, and only the Americans really succeeded. Now that Hawaii has been given a quick start by Goxinga, whether the Americans will come to play with their lives, Goxinga is still a little bottomless. Although the United States is now withering, Guo Xing'a is not afraid of them at all, but Japan has not yet taken it into the bag, and Guo Xing'a does not want to make extraneous branches for the time being.

After the situation in Hawaii was reported back to the United States, the federal parliament was almost blown up, and there were not a few people clamoring for war in North Manchuria. U.S. Secretary of State Hamilton Fish had just issued a statement in July that no other country would be allowed to annex Hawaii, and that North Manchuria would destroy Hawaii in November. Hawaii's geographical location is also too important, and if the United States wants to develop in the Asia-Pacific region in the future, it will absolutely not be able to do without this transit and supply center.

And this is not the first time that North Manchuria has harmed the United States, and the damage caused by North Manchuria to the federal government is too much. If the Manchurians had not supported the Confederate government, the civil war in the United States would have been over, and the country would have been unified and developing rapidly. If the Manchurians had not stirred up the situation, the Indians would never have been able to make such a fuss, and the large-scale development of the western region would have achieved brilliant achievements long ago. If it had not been for the Manchurians to stir up the situation, Alaska, which the Russians sold at a low price, would have already fallen into the pockets of the Americans, and the territory of the United States would have expanded by more than one-tenth. The Americans had already given in step to the hateful Manchurians, and as a result the Manchurians had taken Hawaii again, and this time they could not bear to say anything more.

The members of Congress were very happy, but the secretary of state and the president, who had just been slapped in the face, were very indifferent, and they could not do anything about the current situation. The president of the United States has always been divided between a civilian president and a military president, and the civilian president is good at governing and has made a lot of achievements in domestic affairs, but his foreign policy is relatively soft. Military presidents, on the other hand, have relatively little to do in domestic affairs, but they have achieved more results in diplomacy, and their style of work is relatively tough, and their attitude towards foreign countries is relatively tough. The current President of the United States, Ulysses Simpson Grant, is a president who was born into a military man, so everyone believes that he will fight back against the Manchurians with a tough attitude, which is why he keeps clamoring. But Grant was bitter in his heart, Grant couldn't say it, and now he couldn't get tough.

Ulysses Simpson Grant was the first president in U.S. history to graduate from West Point, and before becoming president, he worked as commander-in-chief of the Union Army. From the beginning of the Civil War to Lincoln's assassination, Grant had been on the front lines, and he knew everything that had changed on the battlefield. He also knew that the United States, which was far away from the Juche world, was much behind in such activities as war. Manchuria's new weapons, Manchuria's new methods of warfare, everything is different from before.

Although Grant also had some political ambitions, he was willing to remain on the front lines of the fierce battle, but the political differences between him and Lincoln's successor Andrew Johnson were very large, and he even believed that Andrew Johnson's policy of concessions had brought the war into a quagmire. The soldiers fighting on the front line need a good commander-in-chief, but they need a good president even more, so Grant resolutely took off his military uniform, participated in the presidential campaign, and successfully became the eighteenth president of the United States. Although Grant is also more tolerant of the southern manor lords, and more indulgent to his subordinates who are greedy for ink, and is lackluster in governance, they know the battlefield very well. Therefore, after Grant's election, the American Civil War, which had been stalemate for ten years, finally had hope of an end, and the Confederate Army began to retreat one after another, and the Union Army gradually laid the foundation for victory.

But at the moment, Grant really wants to return the presidential crown to Johnson, and this time the Hawaii issue is too hot. Grant, who is well versed in the world situation, knows that once war is declared on North Manchuria at this time, the civil war in the United States is estimated to be fought for another ten years, and the already troublesome Dongshang Republic will also take the opportunity to become bigger. And even if there is a war, it will be difficult for the United States to retake Hawaii, and North Manchuria, which has sprung up in recent years, although it is not enough, is still very powerful, and the United States is at war with them, and it is difficult for the federal government, which is already stretched, to have the money to support such a war across the ocean.

But if there is no war, the members of Congress who can only make a fuss will also be difficult to deal with. The protracted civil war and the occupation of the East Coast by the Eastern Merchants Republic have left these councillors with a desperate outlet, and it will be difficult for Grant to appease them. In case one is not handled well, Grant will become the second president in American history to be impeached, following his predecessor Johnson. In this way, not only will his presidential throne be gone, but the favorable situation that he has painstakingly created will also be wasted with his resignation.

When Grant was in a dilemma, William, the British ambassador to the United States, came to the door and offered Grant a seemingly rosy solution. The British were also very unhappy with the annexation of Hawaii by North Manchuria, but there was no way, even if there was no way. Hawaii is a precious place, right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, full of water on all sides, and not close to anywhere. North Manchuria occupied Hawaii, but they didn't just send some troops over, they had a full plan. More than 300 large transport ships are traveling between Honolulu and Dalian day and night, and a large number of Chinese and supplies are being sent to Hawaii almost frantically. By the time other countries sent troops to Hawaii, not only had the Manchurian military ports and fortifications repaired, but I was afraid that the Chinese would also become the main population of Hawaii, which was originally sparsely populated.

"Mr. President, the government of North Manchuria, which has been plotting against Hawaii for a long time, has made careful plans, and the follow-up construction is very fast, and it is by no means possible to help Hawaii regain its independence in a short period of time. However, it is very necessary to curb the expansion of Manchuria and punish them for the crime of destroying sovereign states, so the British Empire hopes that the United States can also actively contribute to the international community to fight against Manchurian hegemony! "The double standards of the British play very slippery, the Chinese open up the territory is to destroy the sovereign country, their colonization is to open the wilderness, how to say that they are all just.

"I really don't know what else I can do now besides defending Hawaii's sovereignty and territory." Grant already knew what kind of bird the British old watch was, so he didn't talk nonsense with William, he just wanted to know what the British wanted to do, and it was enough for him to give an account to Congress.

"In addition to the invasion of Hawaii, North Manchukuo is now also invading Japan. It is too barbaric for them to magnify a small border dispute to the extent of destroying a thousand-year-old country. For the sake of justice of the international community, I, the British Empire, hope that the United States, a model of democracy, will join us in resisting North Manchuria and make them stop their aggression against Japan! "Although the British are clever and skillful, it is difficult to cover up the fact that Japan took the initiative to provoke trouble, and it can only be said that North Manchuria is making a big fuss.

"It's better to send troops to distant East Asia to help the Hawaiians regain their independence!" Americans are also interested in Japan, but the so-called whip is out of reach, and Grant still thinks that Hawaii is better to be closer. Although if the British were to drive out the Manchurians, it would allow the British to take the opportunity to get into Hawaii, but it was better than being eaten by North Manchuria, and there was not even any dregs left.

"No, no, no, we are peace-loving, and we came forward to mediate the war between North Manchuria and Japan for peace!" The British have not done anything in Latin America, and South Africa has not been peaceful recently, and they don't want to tear their faces with North Manchuria again, so they resolutely refuse to do this kind of thing by sending troops.

"North Manchuria is a brutal hegemonic country, and it is constantly exporting violence and death to the whole world, and with the mediation of our two countries, I am afraid that it will be difficult to restore peace in East Asia! Moreover, there are so many Asian countries that have declared war on Japan this time, and it will be difficult for our two countries to convince them! "Northern Manchukuo has squeezed the United States dry, and it has long been a bird's nest to the Americans, but Grant is embarrassed to say this, so he can only take out the Qing Empire and its vassals to talk about things. Japan has committed public anger in East Asia this time, and everyone within a radius of 10,000 miles wants to beat him, and this fight is really difficult to persuade.

"There are still many barbaric countries in East Asia, they are barbaric and uncivilized, so our enlightened European and American countries must play the role that they should play as world leaders. In addition to the British Empire and your country, the French Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Russian Empire will all contribute their strength to the maintenance of the international order. "William also came prepared, the British had already pulled enough people on their chariots, and this time they came to the Americans just to make a difference.

"Well, the federal government should also actively maintain the international order!" Grant is also very happy that such a large group of people can go to trouble North Manchuria, and the United States can make a difference, so that he can give an account to the parliament, and can also let the United States avoid the retaliation of North Manchuria, which is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

Guo Xing'a was worried about Changchun for many days, he was afraid that the Americans would mix with him, and he was also worried that the British would find fault, but he did not come and waited, as if everyone was very in favor of the annexation of Hawaii by North Manchuria. Pi Runmin and Guo Xinga were ready to celebrate in Changchun, but Zou Degui brought back bad news, and none of the world's powers expressed their stance on Hawaii's problems, but they came to the door because of Japan.

"Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, Italy, the Ottomans, and the United States have all come to the door, and all of them want to mediate our war with Japan!" Zou Degui also has a crooked mouth, this matter is really difficult to do.
